Not anymore. The rise of the internet leveled the competitive landscape and these days, guys in their basement can compete with multinational corporations. Indeed, you can make money online for free without having a physical store or a gargantuan budget. You don’t even need inventory. Neither do you have to spend on research and development.

Passion. Look deeply into yourself and find a passion you can monetize, then follow the succeeding steps to cash in and make money online free without expenditures.

There are skills people are willing to pay for. Can you write poems? Create pickup lines for girls? Draw a funny image? Cast magic spells? Believe it or not people will want to pay for those services. You just need the right vehicle to market your services. You can make money fast by leveraging your interests

Package your service. This is key. A service will cost you very little. You don’t even have to spend on boxes and print outs. All you have to do is render the service. Once you decide how to package it, go online and start selling.

Do you promote poetry, literary, marketing and advertising services? How about art and ebooks? The best place to sell these is on Fiverr. Fiverr lets you sell any micro service under the sun. As the website name goes, the minimum price for your service is $5. You can charge as much as $200 when you get better. I have friends who actually generate in excess of $350 DAILY from this, particularly when they bolster the campaign with mobile marketing. Here’s how to do mobile marketing (almost downright illegal) effectively.

Do you package physical goods with your service (like a hard copy blue print). In this case, craigslist and amazon.com are unbeatable for your money making platform. Both sites are free to join and each drives a traffic storm to your offerings. Here’s a solid primer on craigslist that teaches blackhat stealth tactics to crush your competition.

Start Selling! Obviously, if you’re new, people may not trust you as much. On ebay, for instance, people look for the number of gold stars next to your name. Each star means a consummated transaction. It’s like reputation. How do you get around this? It’s easy. Simply purchase 50 items from other vendors that cost 50 cents. You get fifty stars. Instant credibility.

Are you ready to make money online free? There’s no excuse. Make the New Year your banner year!
